Abstract

A check processing device conveys checks into branch paths without the check jamming. The downstream end of the check transportation path (7) of the check processing device (1) is split by a diversion unit (18) into first and second branch paths (11 and 12). The diversion unit (18) has diversion unit guide surfaces (18a and 18b) that diverge to the right and left, and a diversion unit top (18c) that connects the top edges of the diversion unit guide surfaces (18a and 18b). A branch switching lever or flapper (19) is located at the branching position A. The diversion unit top (18c) slopes upward from the lever top (19c) in the diversion direction on both right and left sides, and also slopes upward from the top edges of the diversion unit guide surfaces (18a and 18b) perpendicularly to the diversion direction. If a check (6) with a drooping top is advanced to the branching position A, the drooping portion is guided by the diversion unit top (18c) up and over the diversion unit (18), thereby enabling the check (6) to enter the first or second branch path (11) or (12) without colliding with the diversion unit (18).
